The deal will pay him $650,000 at the NHL level and $85,000 in the AHL, but he's guaranteed to make $110,000, according to General Fanager. The 23-year-old had one assist in nine games with the Jets and 30 points in 45 games in the AHL. He should compete for a spot on Winnipeg's fourth line. Mon, Aug 15, 2016 02:28:00 PM

His assist on Andrew Copp's third period goal was the first point of Lipon's young career. The 22-year-old won't have any fantasy value going forward, but if given the opportunity he can continue to be an effective bottom-six winger for the rest of the season. Sun, Mar 6, 2016 09:55:00 AM

Mark Scheifele notched a goal and an assist in Canada's 5-0 win over Norway in preliminary round action at the World Hockey Championship.

Nathan MacKinnon's superb tournament continued with three assists in the contest, while Colton Parayko netted two goals in his second game since joining the team. Canada clinched first in Group B with the victory.

Bryan Little scored a goal and three assists in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Little helped set up goals by Jacob Trouba (twice) and Mathieu Perreault. His goal at the 9:35 mark of the third period extended his team's lead to 5-3 at the time. He finished the night with a plus-1 rating, two shots on goal and two hits in 15:16 of ice time. Little is up to 21 goals and 47 points in 58 games. He's now accumulated three straight multi-point games.

He has potted two goals in the last four games. Lowry has posted his best offensive season in the NHL in 2016-17 with 15 goals and 27 points in 79 games. Unfortunately, that still isn't enough to make him fantasy relevant.

The Winnipeg Jets have signed Micahel Sgarbossa to a one-year, $650,000 deal.

Sgarbossa has proven that he can score in the AHL but he has had limited success in the NHL in stops in Florida, Anaheim and Colorado. We're not confident things will be any different with the Jets. Sgarbossa registered seven points in 29 games with the Panthers last season.

The Jets have lost Shawn Matthias for the season due to surgery to repair a torn labrum.

The labrum, mind you, is the cup-shaped rim of cartilage that lines and reinforces the ball and socket joint of the shoulder. Matthias' season ends with eight goals and 12 points in 45 games. He'll enter his age-30 campaign in 2017-18 and ding the cap at $2.125M in the final year of his contract.

Brandon Tanev has inked a one-year, $700,000 contract with the Winnipeg Jets.

Tanev's contract is one-way, so he'll earn that amount even if he gets sent to the minors. He had two goals and four points in 51 games with Winnipeg as a rookie last season. He also recorded two goals and nine points in 23 AHL contests.

Blake Wheeler scored the game-winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Nashville on Saturday.

Wheeler found the back of the net with just 45 seconds left in the third period and did so while Winnipeg was shorthanded. He'll conclude the 2016-17 campaign with 26 goals and 74 points in 82 games. Kyle Connor also scored a goal for Winnipeg.

Patrik Laine has been named a finalist for the Calder Trophy, which goes annually to the NHL's top rookie.

Laine finished the 2016-17 season second among NHL rookies with 34 goals and 64 points in 73 games. His goal total also ranked him seventh overall in league. Toronto's Auston Matthews and Columbus' Zach Werenski are the other finalists for the Calder Trophy. Laine was neck and neck with Matthews for most of the season, but the Leafs center gained some separation down the stretch to make him the favorite for the award. Still, it was an incredible introduction to NHL action for the Jets winger and it won't be long before he is challenging for 50 goals.

He scored his third shorthanded goal of the year in the contest. The Jets also killed off all four of the Devils' power plays in a 4-3 shootout win. "I've been trying to improve my PK a lot," said Armia. "When you play good defence, maybe you get the (scoring) chances sometimes. But it's not about scoring goals. It's about shutting their power play down." Unfortunately, that hasn't happened often as Winnipeg ranks 28th overall in the league on penalty kill this season.

He could earn 650,000 at the NHL level. Robinson played in four games with Ottawa last season, but spent most of the season in the minors. He also generated 31 points in 66 AHL matches with Binghamton and the San Jose Barracuda.

Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien is hoping his team will go a lot further than they went last year.

That shouldn't be too difficult considering the Jets didn't make the playoffs last year. "Every season you get to start from zero," Byfuglien said. "All you've got to do is just go out there, work hard and you build your own luck. You start from zero at the beginning of the season and just keep building to see how far you can go. We're hoping and planning that this year it's a lot further than we've gone [in recent seasons]." If the Jets make the playoffs, Byfuglien will be one of the big reasons why. He had 51 points in 76 games last season.

Josh Morrissey will represent Canada at the World Hockey Championships.

Morrissey picked up six goals and 14 assists in 82 games this season. He averaged over 19:29 of ice time for the Jets in 2016-17. Teammate Mark Scheifele will also suit up for Canada at this spring's tournament.

It is unclear whether the Jets asked Toby Enstrom to waive his no-movement clause, but if they did and he accepted then Myers will probably be protected along with Dustin Byfuglien and Jacob Trouba. Myers was limited to just 11 games in 2016-17 because of injury.

Kulikov had two goals, five points, and a minus-26 rating in 47 games with the Buffalo Sabres. A big part of the issue is that Kulikov was hurt in the preseason and still wasn't 100% when he resumed playing. He's feeling good at this point though. The Jets are betting on a comeback out of Kulikov as they inked him to a three-year worth $4.33 million per year. Given that he's been a solid top-four defenseman in the past, there's potentially a lot of value in that deal.

Although Toby Enstrom agreed to waive his no-movement clause, allowing him to be exposed in the expansion draft, he didn't want to leave Winnipeg.

"I can confirm that Enstrom has waived his no-move as a favour to the Jets organization. Tobias has played his entire career in the organization and has always been treated with the best respect," his agent, Kalle Boden said. "He has warm feelings for the city and the Jets organization and wanted to help them out in a tricky situation. Enstrom is positive the Jets have a bright future and he wants to be a part of that. Therefore he is 100 per cent clear that he wants to stay." In the end, the Jets worked out a trade with Vegas that involved the Golden Knights claiming Chris Thorburn, so Enstrom is still with the Jets. Enstrom, 32, had a goal and 14 points in 60 contests while averaging 21:54 minutes last season.

The Winnipeg Jets have re-signed Ben Chiarot to a two-year, $2.8 million contract.

Chiarot was scheduled to become a restricted free agent on July 1st. The 26-year-old had two goals, 12 points and 33 penalty minutes in 59 games in 2016-17. Don't expect him to have any fantasy value heading into next season, as he's more of a depth player for Winnipeg.

The Winnipeg Jets have inked Steve Mason to a two-year, $8.2 million contract.

Mason had a mediocre season in Philadelphia in 2016-17 (26-21-8 record with a 2.66 goals-against-average and a .908 save percentage) but is still at least a league-average netminder. He will battle Connor Hellebuyck for playing time in the Peg and should see approximately 40 starts with an emerging Jets squad.

Hellebuyck signed a one-year contract with the Jets on Monday after he struggled in 2016-17. "It's all on the line," he said. "I learned a lot, got a whole lot better (last season), but I have a whole lot more to give. I got more to offer than what I showed last year. I look forward to doing that this year. I'm going to have veteran (goaltender Steve) Mason here and I'm going to learn from him. I owe these guys my best every night." Hellebuyck added that he is eager to show that last year was just a fluke. Winnipeg brought in veteran Steve Mason as a free agent in the off-season. Mason is projected to enter the 2017-18 campaign as the team's number one goaltender.

Michael Hutchinson may not get another start this season, but he is happy with how he has played down the final stretch.

"I was extremely pleased with how I was able to finish, if that was my last game (this season)," said Hutchinson. "It was a tough season for a bit of a stretch there. I'm glad I was able to come back and help the team win some games down the stretch." He posted a 5-1 record in seven appearances. During his last five starts, Hutchinson surrendered two goals or less four times. The Jets will start Eric Comrie on Thursday and Connor Hellebuyck may be in goal for Saturday's season finale.
